Add gapless playback

[unraun]

Especially when playing back live-albums on Spotify I can recognize small pauses between the tracks. Would be great, if that issue could be fixed.

From my experience MPD has the ability for gapless playback (buffering). Don't know if this is an issue for mopidy or mopidy-spotify.

This is an issue with mopidy-spotify, it seems to be sending invalid data to the buffer after the song ends.

Here's a workaround:

mopidy-spotify/playback.py, line 188, place this below:

if duration == 500_000_000: return num_frames

I know this issue has been closed, but I did want to report something experienced earlier

I set up a fresh install of Pirate Audio on the line out board for a zero WH using the guide here as reference.

I'm not sure why but initially gapless playback was not working properly on my device. I messed around with stuff and eventually ran the command: sudo pip3 install --upgrade mopidy-spotify

Afterwards gapless playback is working nicely, although I'm not sure why a fresh install of the software would not have already included the updates found in the install script.

I just wanted to mention this in case it is important in the future!

Was your original installation from Debian packages? If so, that would explain what you experienced. The release with gapless support was released just a few days ago, so the Debian packages are not up to date yet.

Yup, that explains it then! Thanks
